Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 166

  Chapter 166 Longline Fishing

  Mother Ye even opened one herself, which is no longer a novelty, so she just looked at it with a smile on her face.

  Sister Ye, Second Sister Ye, and Lin Xiuqing were surprised, and the three of them surrounded and came forward.

  I saw a milky white bead on the side of a whole plump oyster meat, but Ye Yaodong didn't touch it, so he let them have a look first.

  He himself was very happy. He didn't expect to open one after opening more than 20. The diameter of this one is about 8mm.

   "There really are!"

   "Is this old and valuable?"

  Ye Yaodong picked out the pearls and handed them to Lin Xiuqing before saying, "Not necessarily, it depends on the fineness and roundness, and I can't tell, but they are definitely better than the freshwater pearls on the market, so keep them for now!"

  Seawater pearls are different from freshwater pearls. Most seawater pearls are round in shape and bred in the sea. They feel more delicate, cooler and more moisturizing.

Generally, the shapes of freshwater pearls are irregular, including flat, oval, and concave-convex, and there will be a kind of astringent feeling to the touch. Freshwater pearls with poor quality can be used to grind pearls. Powder, but not seawater pearls, seawater pearls have nuclei.

   Seawater pearls also contain more organic matter, trace elements, and minerals, which are more comprehensive. Moreover, seawater pearls are naturally produced and more suitable for the human body's mechanism, which can absorb toxins in the human body.

  The two sister-in-laws were so envious, they looked at the pearl in Lin Xiuqing's hand greedily.

   "If you can't sell it for money, how can you wear it yourself? That's great."

   "When the fifteenth arrives, do you still want to go to the isolated island to explore the sea again? Shall we go with you?" Second Aunt Ye looked at him hopefully after finishing speaking.

  Sister-in-law Ye also wants to go.

  Mother Ye was also very moved, "Why don't you tell us next time you go, Dongzi, we will go with you, no matter it's worth it or not, it's good to find more things and come back."

Headache!

   It's okay to go on an adventure with your friends, but if you take the women at home, you can only find a small island with an exposed beach, and you must be careful when climbing on the reef.

trouble!

   A few of them fell down when they were grown-up men, and it didn't matter if they fell into the sea. Now it's a headache to ask him to bring a group of women.

"Mom, you have said it before. The reef is very slippery, and the sea is very windy. If you are not careful, you will be easily thrown into the sea by the waves. Even if the tide is low, you can't guarantee safety. Don't look at the amount of goods I bring back, but It's also quite adventurous, you can think about it yourself, you can go there.”

  If he wants to go, he can only try to find a small island with a higher terrain.

There are only those small isolated islands around, and you can almost go to the ones that are closer. The others have to be searched and stepped on. Yes, the goods are definitely available.

  The pier reef in their village is visited by people at both ends of the three days, but they can find something every time they come back.

   "Go and have a look, we just need to be more careful." Mother Ye didn't want to take risks at first, but this time Ye Huimei came back with a rewarding experience, and she even opened a pearl herself.

  The goods that Dongzi brought back in the past few times were all worthless shelled ones, and she didn't ask how much they sold for some that could be sold for money. How could there be such a direct impact this time.

   "That's fine, I'll tell you when I go."

  You can't bring friends, not your family.

   Sister Ye and Second Sister Ye are also happy.

  Lin Xiuqing rubbed her belly regretfully. In her current situation, if she wanted to go, he probably wouldn't take her there.

   "Do you want to open it for you? Otherwise, you don't know how long you will have to open such a bag?" The second sister-in-law Ye was eager to get started.

  Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Wait a minute, let's go have breakfast first, I'm getting up late today, shall we continue driving after eating?"

   "Okay then, let's take care of the house first."

  Mother Ye stayed for a while, and left after she had finished speaking.

   The couple talked excitedly while eating.

   "I didn't expect that just a short while ago, you actually opened another one. This is the first time I've seen it."

   "Maybe I'll let you open one later."

  Lin Xiuqing smiled, "How can there be such a simple thing? If you say it, you will."

   "I can't say for sure, these oysters are probably grown for many years."

   Ye Yaodong said as he opened an oyster that had just been steamed, dipped it in soy sauce and vinegar, and put it into his mouth in one bite.

  Although it doesn't have the fragrance of minced garlic, its deliciousness is enough.

  Oysters are a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women.

  He ate three in a row before stopping. Seeing Lin Xiuqing picking up one to open, he prepared to open it for her, but she refused.

   "I want to open it myself, what if there are pearls?"

   "All right, I'll open it for you."

  Undoubtedly, this is just her imagination. There is only a lot of oyster meat when it comes out. In fact, she just said it casually.

   "Get some scrambled eggs in the afternoon...huh?"

  Lin Xiuqing just took two bites when she felt a foreign object in her mouth. When she rolled her tongue, she immediately felt what it was, and spit it out in surprise.

  Ye Yaodong was also pleasantly surprised, is this all right?

   "Ah, it was hidden in the meat, and I almost bit it."

  Lin Xiuqing looked happily at the pearl in her palm, and couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, she just touched it with her tongue and stopped it in time. Otherwise, if she bit a mark like Sister Ye, it would be her turn to cry.

"show me."

  Ye Yaodong took the pearl in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was intact, without blemishes, and the pearl was round and smooth.

   "Take out the one I just gave you for comparison."

   "It seems that this one will be a little bigger?"

   "It's kind of..."

  The couple looked there excitedly, and ignored the two children. Taking advantage of their inattention, the two cleverly grabbed half a pancake with each hand, stopped eating, and just ate the pancake.

   After Lin Xiuqing was happy to put away the pearls, she saw that the two hands and mouths were full of oil, and they gnawed all over the table and fell down.

   She cursed a few more words dumbfounded, but the two left the table and ran away.

  When they got up in the morning, each of them took one to eat. She was worried that she would not have to eat the porridge after eating the whole one.

   I didn't expect to just take it and run away right now, two stinky boys, when they are free, they will catch them and beat them up!

   "Hey, eat as soon as you eat. If you don't eat, you will eat it when you are hungry at noon. If you are hungry, you don't need to feed it. You can eat your own."

  Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look, "You are the one who tempted them, how can they grow taller without food."

   "Nutrition is all in the dishes, so it has nothing to do with the rice, right?"

   "Who said that if you don't eat, you won't be full no matter how much you eat."

   "Then they will eat when they are hungry, you eat quickly, we will continue to open after eating, there are many pearls waiting for you."

  Both the husband and wife speeded up their meal. As soon as they finished eating, they couldn't wait to open the oysters without even washing the bowl.

   Seeing that they started working, the two sisters-in-law couldn't wait to come over to help together. Even the second brother Ye, who had just returned from working in the field, heard about it and joined the oyster opening team together.

  Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng ran over excitedly not long after and said that each of them opened five pills, Fatty opened three, plus the one on the island yesterday, Fatty also had four.

  As soon as this remark came out, it gave him great confidence. He already had four in his hand, how could he not be worse than them?

  The oyster opening team grew stronger again. All the oysters were opened in the midst of everyone's constant exclamation in the morning, and the three large basins were full of oyster meat.

  Of course, the harvest was also quite fruitful. Lin Xiuqing deliberately took a small bowl of pearls halfway, and the round beads in it looked very pleasing.

   "Quickly count how many?"

  Everyone gathered there, very excited.

  Excitedly, she picked up the small bowl and counted, "One, two, three... eighty-nine... There are nine here!"

   "There were two opened in the morning, and two yesterday, 13!"

   "Fuck, so much? You get more than us for everything!" Ah Zheng looked envious.

  Xiaoxiao was so envious that she didn't know what to say, "Awesome!"

  Sister Ye and the others also looked enviously.

  Ye Yaodong smiled, ignored them, and only said to Lin Xiuqing: "Take it back to the room and put it away, and clean it here for me."

"Um."

   "Do you want to sell it for money? Dongzi?"

   "Huh?" Ye Yaodong looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise, "Are you going to sell it for money?"

   "I think so, if you don't sell it for money, why put it in your hand? Do you still wear it? Don't you think it's too wasteful? It's more practical to exchange money."

   Ah Zheng also nodded, "Yes, let's sell it for money? Money is the most real thing."

  Ye Yaodong thought for a while before saying: "Forget it, you can sell it, and I will talk about it when money is tight."

   Now there is no need to spend a lot of money. This wild seawater pearl is still relatively rare. In the future, there will be only cultivated seawater pearls on the market.

   Good thing, he still wants to keep it for his wife, and it will be gone if he sells it. There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry, and it is more meaningful to open it by himself.

   Moreover, this thing maintains its value, and the price will rise in the next few years. Good quality will only become more and more valuable.

   "Is it really not for sale?"

"For the time being, you don't need to spend a lot of money, or you can take it to the store and ask how much it is worth? If you don't have much, let's put it in your hands first. It has just been opened for a few years, and the economic conditions are limited. After a few years, it will definitely be more expensive. Good now."

  Xiao Xiao spread his hands, "Okay, let's ask first, let's leave it if it's cheap, and get out if it's worth it."

   "In the afternoon, collect the ground cage and fish by the way, are you going?"

   "Go, I just took a bunch of row hooks from my old man, and I'm going to put them in the afternoon."

   "Release fish? Longline fishing?" Ye Yaodong looked at Ah Zheng in surprise.

  Longline fishing operations are called "Fangyu" around them, which refers to special fishing ropes.

This is a traditional fishing technique. A main line is released from the boat into the sea, and a certain number of branch lines are tied to the main line at a certain distance. The end of each branch line is tied with a hook with bait; There are sunken stones and buoys at the head and tail, which are used to control the main line and branch line in water at a specific depth, so as to trap adult fish in a specific water layer.

  Longline fishing has a certain degree of fishing. Generally, the hooks it uses are relatively large and can only catch large fish, while small fish will not eat the hook even if they can eat the bait.

  This fishing method is a bit old, but in this era, there are quite a lot of it. It is a traditional fishing method.

   It's just that in their village, they mainly use ground cage nets, Korean nets, and trawl nets. Ye Yaodong has only seen this longline fisherman, but he is not familiar with it.

   Ah Zheng nodded, "Yes, longline fishing, try it in the sea."

   "Then you have to prepare in advance. I heard that this is quite troublesome. Steps such as tying the hook, tidying the fishing line, and hanging the bait need to be completed before going to sea."

   "My wife is making it at home. After dinner, when the tide comes, I think I can go to sea."

   "Okay, let's go together, I will take a look at this longline fishing and observe it."

  Xiao Xiao also interjected: "I heard that this fishing method only catches big fish, not small fish."

   "That's right, no one in our village uses this fishing method. Try it first. My father-in-law said it works well."

   "My wife is well married!"

   "Hahaha, a son-in-law is half the age, isn't your father-in-law also sending fruit over every three days?"

   "You come and we go."
